depends what you want from it? What power are you looking. No point lowering the compression if it's not necessary for your power target.

Dont no really anything over 200bhp will do me fine got a stg3 head on way and now after a stg 3 turbo got few other mods too so should easy see it.

Who's building the engine? Really should be specd by them. There is no magic compression ratio that is the best.

Dont no yet just wanted to no what im doing first so i can then ring round to get some prices.

best bet is to give someone like Karl Norris an e-mail. tell him what you want to achieve and let him spec it for you. Rather than ring around "wahts the best price on x" go with one person and get them to spec it all together.

You won't go wrong with Karl. He sorted my cam/turbo for my car, transformed it. the new owner just did 112mph terminal at the pod!
